Hey John,
Saw your post. Haven't done the other two glazes you listed but have =
been testing the Falls Creek Shino on my porcelain clay. Very nice =
shino looking glaze which breaks lighter on texture and where thick. =
Have tested it twice now but have not put it on actual ware yet. Tests =
have been consistent and without any problems. The Albany Slip I used =
was a substitute which I ordered from Bailey Ceramic Company. =20
Falls Creek Shino
Albany Slip 56.0
Gertsley Borate 18.7
Kona F-4 9.4
Lithium Carbonate 6.5
Silica 9.4
100
ADD:
Superpax 9.4
Tin Oxide 4.7
I believe this came from John Hesselberth's site, Frog Pond Pottery. =
Hope it helps. Happy testing!
Peace,

You didn't say; but I believe the Falls Creek Shino is a Cone 6/7 glaze, and
that is the range in which I have used this glaze for several years.
Is that your intention?

Marvin,
I do indeed plan to try the Falls Creek Shino, but when it comes to
firings, I always do it my way. It's nice to have a target cone range
however. I will get into that range I am sure. It's just that I do all
my firing manually.... no computers, not kiln sitters, no timers. I use
free standing shelf cones or "Witness" cones, fire with the holes open
on the kiln, and watch the cones themselves for the movement that
indicates maturity of the glaze. With my method, I find that often
glazes don't fire to the cone that is advertised or posted. So, I do it
my way, get my results, and make notes for next time. This way works for
me, and I get some good consistent results from glazes because of it.
Working with FCS is going to be fun. If you have any variant suggestions
I'm open to them.
Regards,
John Rodgers

Since Randy's Oatmeal Rust (aka Falls Creek Shino) is a slip glaze, it has a
very wide firing range. I was working at cone 5 though when I was
developing it. Midnite black ( a close relative of this glaze) starts to
vitrify at around cone 06. There really isn't a whole lot of difference
between cone 1 and cone 7 for this glaze. This is why it is such an easy
glaze for someone beginning to experiment with glazes to alter.
